.TH std::experimental::filesystem::path::c_str,std::experimental::filesystem::path::native, 3 "2024.06.10" "http://cppreference.com" "C++ Standard Libary"
.SH NAME
std::experimental::filesystem::path::c_str,std::experimental::filesystem::path::native, \- std::experimental::filesystem::path::c_str,std::experimental::filesystem::path::native,

.SH Synopsis

   const value_type* c_str() const;   \fB(1)\fP (filesystem TS)
   const string_type& native() const; \fB(2)\fP (filesystem TS)
   operator string_type() const;      \fB(3)\fP (filesystem TS)

   Accesses the native path name as a character string.

   1) Equivalent to native().c_str().
   2) Returns the native string representation of the pathname by reference.
   3) Returns the native string representation of the pathname by value.

.SH Parameters

   \fI(none)\fP

.SH Return value

   The native string representation of the pathname, using native syntax, native
   character type, and native character encoding. This string is suitable for use with
   OS APIs.

.SH Exceptions

   1,2)
   noexcept specification:
   noexcept


.SH Notes

   The conversion function \fB(3)\fP is provided so that standard file-opening APIs that
   accept std::basic_string file names, such as the std::ifstream constructor, can use
   pathnames with no changes to code:

 fs::path p = "/tmp/text.txt";
 std::ifstream f(p);

.SH Example


// Run this code

 #include <clocale>
 #include <cstdio>
 #include <experimental/filesystem>
 #include <fstream>
 #include <iostream>
 namespace fs = std::experimental::filesystem;

 int main()
 {
     std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
     std::locale::global(std::locale("en_US.utf8"));

     fs::path p = fs::u8path(u8"要らない.txt");

     // native string representation can be used with OS APIs
     std::ofstream(p) << "File contents"; // this uses operator string()
     if (std::FILE* f = std::fopen(p.c_str(), "r"))
     {
         int ch;
         while ((ch=fgetc(f))!= EOF) putchar(ch);
         std::fclose(f);
     }

     // multibyte and wide representation can be used for output
     std::cout.imbue(std::locale());
     std::cout << "\\nFile name in narrow multibyte encoding: "
               << p.string() << '\\n';

     std::wcerr.imbue(std::locale());
     std::wcerr << "File name in wide encoding: "
                << p.wstring() << '\\n';

     fs::remove(p);
 }

.SH Possible output:

 File contents
 File name in narrow multibyte encoding: 要らない.txt
 File name in wide encoding: 要らない.txt
